BYD e2 Honor Edition: honest autonomy for a very fair price

BYD, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of electric vehicles, recently introduced its new e2 Honor Edition model to the Chinese market. This new electric vehicle is positioned as an affordable option for consumers looking for cost-effective mobility solutions. Estimated price is about 12,000 euros ChinaThe e2 Honor Edition is designed to provide an affordable alternative to traditional petrol-powered cars. Its attractive price is intended to encourage wider adoption of electric vehicles in a country where demand for environmentally friendly cars is growing. BYD thus follows in the footsteps of several European manufacturers, which in turn want to release low-cost models to sell off as much stock as possible and thus democratize the electric car, whose sales have slowed in recent months. This new electric car from BYD is specially adapted to the needs of city drivers, providing enough range for daily trips. Equipped with a lithium-ion battery, the e2 Honor Edition offers the perfect combination of energy efficiency and performance. According to the manufacturer, its range according to the Chinese approval cycle is about 400 km.

In addition to being competitively priced, the e2 Honor Edition is equipped with advanced features that meet the demands of today’s drivers. These features include a rotating screen available in two sizes, DiLink connectivity and voice interaction systems that enhance user interaction. Additionally, an 8.8-inch LCD instrument panel completes the package, providing a user-friendly and informative interface.
